Final score: 88-85

SGA (30/4/7), Dillon Brooks (22/5/2), and RJ Barrett (16/5/1) carried Canada in this one. The game could have easily gone the other way or into OT. Spain led for 70% of the time and did everything right in the last 30 seconds. There was a bit of Raptors reunion with Nate Bjorkgren, Sergio Scariolo, and Juancho Hernangómez all on or around the court

    Dillon Brooks kept Canada in the game when things looked bleak. Dwight Powell played much bigger than himself today. Absolute beast. SGA was ICE in close-out time. He made like 6 consecutive free throws in the last 30 seconds to keep Canada ahead of Spain.

      Agreed!! Brooks has the 3 to tie it up iirc. Right before that, Shai laid it up with 2 or 3 white shirts in the pain and got the and 1. I really felt that basket kept Canada in the game
